Goal summarises the biggest transfer talk involving the Red Devils as Jose Mourinho looks to further add to his squad

MAN UTD TARGET EVANS RETURN

Manchester United are ready to submit an offer that would bring West Brom defender Jonny Evans back to Old Trafford, the Mirror reports.

Jose Mourinho believes Louis van Gaal made a mistake by selling the centre-back for £6 million in 2015, with the Red Devils reportedly fending off interest from Manchester City and Arsenal for the 29-year-old.

West Brom are believed to be open to selling Evans for around £30M during the January window.

MKHITARYAN OUT, OZIL IN AT MAN UTD

Jose Mourinho is ready to offload Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the summer as he looks to make room for Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil, reports The Daily Mirror .

The Armenia international has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford and hasn't featured for Jose Mourinho's side since November.

And the Manchester United boss is now ready to cash in on the former Dortmund star and replace him with Ozil, whose contract with the Gunners expires in 2018.

MAN UTD HAVE BALE AGREEMENT

Manchester United have a pre-contract agreement in place with Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, according to Diario Gol .

The Wales international is ready to bring an injury-hit spell in Spain to a close and will move to Old Trafford in the summer of 2018.

BARCA PLOTTING BLIND BID

Barcelona are weighing up a January approach for versatile Manchester United defender Daley Blind, claims Marca .

The Catalan giants are also considering another Dutchman, Stefan de Vrij of Lazio, as they seek to bolster the ranks at Camp Nou.

MAN UTD MIDFIELDER WANTED ON LOAN

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is wanted on loan by a trio of Championship clubs in the January transfer window, claims The Sun .

McTominay, who started United’s Premier League game against Bournemouth on Wednesday, is a target for Bolton, Leeds and Preston.

CHELSEA & UTD SCOUT MAX

Chelsea and Manchester United both watched Augsburg left-back Philipp Max against Hertha Berlin over the weekend, reports the Daily Mail .

Max has enjoyed an impressive season for Augsburg and appears to be an option for Chelsea and United, who are both in the market for a new left-back and have also been chasing Juventus’ Alex Sandro.

ALEX SANDRO FAVOURS CHELSEA

The Blues were unable to land the Brazilian full-back over the summer, allowing the Red Devils to join the chase, but he is looking for a January switch to Stamford Bridge.

MKHITARYAN WANTS SHOWDOWN TALKS

Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants talks with Jose Mourinho to find out if he has a future at Manchester United, according to the Daily Star .

The Armenia international has made just one substitute appearance for United in the past month and has been linked with a return to former club Borussia Dortmund.

SHAW DEMANDS PAY-OFF TO LEAVE MAN UNITED

Luke Shaw will only agree to leave Manchester United if the club stump up £5 million to cover potential losses in earnings, according to the Sun .

A fringe figure under Jose Mourinho, the full-back is expected to be put up for sale in January. Unlikely to command the same wages he enjoys at Old Trafford elsewhere, Shaw reportedly will in turn demand United cover the shortfall before accepting a move away.

Newcastle United are one of the clubs to be linked with the out of favour defender in the new year.
